West of Haiyue City.
In the afternoon, the sun is shining and warm. In a quiet courtyard, a delicate-looking girl pushes a middle-aged man in a wheelchair to bask in the sun in the garden.
"Uncle, I'm sorry, Qiaoyu has too many things to do during this time and doesn't have time to come to see you. But I'll be with you every day for the rest of my life. The girl leaned down and whispered in the middle-aged man's ear.
The middle-aged man listened to his words and did not react at all. His gaze was empty and confused, his expression stiff and indifferent.
Walking into the clearing in the middle of the garden, the girl stopped and took a comb from her bosom.
"Uncle, it's not that Qiaoyu doesn't want to accompany you, but she has more important things to do. I must find those wicked people back then, make them pay a terrible price, and avenge you and your dead brothers and sisters, uncle. After this is done, I will leave the palace and stay by your side to take care of you. Qiaoyu is an orphan, Qiaoyu's life was also saved by you, uncle, in this life, I am willing to be your daughter and serve you until you are old. Gently combing the gray hair of the middle-aged man, the girl said softly.
"Qiaoyu, the medicine is boiled. A voice came from afar, and a burly, good-looking young man cautiously approached with a steaming bowl in his hand.
"I've been taking this medicine for almost two years, and it has no effect at all. Qiaoyu stepped forward, took the bowl from the young man's hand with a frown, and let out a soft sigh.
"The eldest brother said, as long as you persevere, there may be a miracle. I'm sure Uncle will get better one day. The young man looked affectionately at the middle-aged man in the wheelchair and said confidently.
"Good. You come to help the uncle, and I will feed the medicine. ”
"Hmm. ”
A bowl of medicine was quickly fed. Qiaoyu picked up the comb again and combed the middle-aged man's hair, while the young man squatted on the side of the wheelchair and began to massage the middle-aged man.
"Stone, didn't the eldest brother send a message that he was going back to Haiyue City recently, why is there no news until now?"
"Big brother comes and goes without a trace, who knows?" Shi smiled bitterly, "Even the teacher is complaining that it is more difficult to see him than to see the emperor." But since he said he was coming back, he would definitely come here when he came back. ”
"His task this time must be very tricky, otherwise the master would not be so mysterious, and he would be scolded for asking where the eldest brother went. I hope he's safe. A hint of melancholy appeared between Qiaoyu's eyebrows.
"Don't worry. Have you forgotten who the eldest brother is?" said the stone with a grin, "It's not that you haven't seen his methods. ”
"I know that, I'm worried that something else will affect him. Don't you see that the eldest brother has a lot of things hidden in his heart?" Qiaoyu sighed lightly.
"yes. Qiaoyu, I've always been curious, uncle's matter, why did the eldest brother let us hide it from the teacher?"
"I don't know. Qiaoyu looked at the middle-aged man in the wheelchair, his eyes were full of respect, "The eldest brother is the most trusted person by the teacher, and he naturally has his reasons for doing this." ”
"I wondered, could the eldest brother be trying to protect the uncle? He may have been worried about the trouble that the group of people came to the uncle back then. Stone analyzed.
"If that's the case, it's our turn to block the sword for Uncle. Qiaoyu's expression was resolute and resolute. She remembered that bloody night again. The rickety body in the wheelchair suddenly became tall and majestic in her eyes. On that bloody night, when they were desperate, it was he who suddenly came out to protect them desperately, protecting them even when they were covered in bruises, stubbornly using his flesh and blood to block the enemy's merciless sword for them.
"Hmm. Stone nodded firmly, "That night, he could have left us alone with his injuries, but he didn't. That's why I was lucky enough to see a warrior with a strong backbone. He taught me how to be a real man, and my life is his. ”
"Don't forget, there's us. Two young lieutenants, dressed in Draco uniforms, appeared behind the stone.
"Brother Shaojie, Brother Xiaofeng, are you back?" Qiaoyu said with a look of surprise.
"Hmm. After returning, Her Royal Highness the Princess gave a few days off. didn't even change his military uniform, he was pulled over by Xiaofeng. The young man, who had a scar more than an inch long on his forehead, smiled at her.
"Qiaoyu, a gift for you from the seaside. Another young man threw a box in his hand and said with a smile. His left hand, with only four fingers, had his thumb cut off.
"It's better to be Brother Xiaofeng. Qiaoyu took the box and opened it, picked up a pearl necklace, and said happily.
"The money is mine, Qiaoyu. Shaojie smiled bitterly.
"Both brothers are good to me, hehe. Qiao Yujiao smiled and hung the necklace around her neck.
"This brother is affectionate. Xiao Feng shrugged his shoulders, "Stone, do you know why Qiaoyu doesn't call you brother?"
"Why?" the stone asked blankly.
"Because you're stupid. Qiaoyu's face suddenly turned red, and she said, "Go and pour water for them!"
"Oh!" the stone replied, and staggered out of the garden.
"Or he's obedient. ”
"We're out of play, let's be honest brothers!"
The two young men looked at the back of the stone and smiled at each other. Behind the two, Qiaoyu lowered her head shyly and took care of her uncle's hair.
Under the warm sunshine, in the spring color of the garden, four young and high-spirited boys and girls sat around the uncle and chatted. Although I don't know the name of my uncle, although I know that he is unconscious, he is their relative, a relative, who gave them a second life. If you compare him to a dead tree, then they are the four new shoots that grow from the tree, and they are deeply marked by him, and their blood carries his spirit in their blood. They are willing to keep watch over him and accompany him, waiting for the day when the dead wood will come in spring.
"Four guards, are you in a meeting?" Ten years walked into the garden, and when he saw the warm scene in front of him, a warm current flowed through his heart, and his voice became a little softer.
"Big brother!" the four of them cheered and ran towards him, grabbing their arms and hugging their waists.
"They're all the ones who take the lead, and they're still like children!" Ten Years shook his head with a wry smile.
"In front of the eldest brother, of course, we will always be children. Qiaoyu said coquettishly.
"In front of Her Royal Highness the Princess, we didn't embarrass the teacher and the eldest brother!" Shaojie said confidently.
"Of course. Now who in the Heavenly Dragon Empire doesn't know that Her Royal Highness the Princess has four guards by her side?" Xiao Feng said proudly.
"Being stared at everywhere I went, I wasn't used to it for a long time. The stone smiled innocently.
"It's good to keep a high profile. Ten years' eyes swept over the four of them one by one, and he smiled, "In this way, no one dares to bully Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
These four young boys and girls are all Qin Dufeng's apprentices, and after the princess appeared in Haiyue City, they became her personal guards.
"How's the uncle doing?" asked Ten-Year.
"It's still the same. I have been using the medicine consistently, but it has not improved. Qiaoyu said gloomily.
"Don't be discouraged, I'm sure he'll get better. Ten years comforted.
He walked over to the wheelchair and crouched down to carefully examine the middle-aged man's body.
"You go down and rest first, and we'll have dinner together in the evening." Now, I want to be alone with my uncle for a while. After a few moments, he stood up and commanded the four.
"Yes!" the four of them replied and left the garden.
"Could you be the Zhu Yunzhao Xuanyuan Yu is looking for, right? I didn't expect him to be Zhu Xiaoqi's person. Zhu Yunzhao, Zhu Xiaoqi, what is your relationship?" Standing next to the wheelchair, ten years frowned and thought. This time when he went to Blackwater City, the biggest unexpected gain was that he found that Xuanyuan Yu, who entrusted Xiangxiang to find Zhu Yunzhao's whereabouts, was actually with Zhu Xiaoqi, and the relationship was quite close. Both of them are surnamed Zhu, and ten years suddenly thought of a possibility: it was Zhu Xiaoqi who was looking for Zhu Yunzhao.
This discovery not only did not solve the mystery in his heart, but also plunged him into even greater confusion. According to the information provided by Xiangxiang, the Li family's iron-blooded guard was ordered to escort a baby away before the Battle of the Flying Dragons began, and then was secretly surrounded and suppressed by the Divine Court, and in the end, only a few people protected the baby and fled into the Silent Wasteland, and disappeared with the army of the Divine Court. Then there is no doubt about the identity of this Zhu Yunzhao in front of him, the Iron Guard, but is he the Iron Blood Guard who survived after entering the Silent Wasteland? If he is, then Zhu Xiaoqi, who has the same surname as Zhu Yunzhao, will be the baby escorted by the Iron Guard?
In terms of time, this is quite possible. Well, here comes a new problem. Why was this baby hunted down and killed by the Divine Court, and what secrets did he hide in his body? What does he have to do with the Li family? How did they escape the hunt and kill of the Divine Court? Why did Zhu Xiaoqi now become the young master of the Li family and the righteous son of Li Mubai?
"Should I tell Zhu Xiaoqi of your whereabouts?" Xiangxiang warned him that once Zhu Yunzhao's identity was exposed, it would cause great disasters, and he didn't dare to take risks lightly.
"Zhu Xiaoqi, Zhu Xiaoqi, why do all kinds of sinister things seem to have something to do with you? What kind of monster are you!" Shi Shi couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
At this time, an extremely special phenomenon attracted his attention: he found that when he pronounced Zhu Xiaoqi's name, the face of the middle-aged man in the wheelchair suddenly twitched slightly.
It was something he had never seen before.
So, he leaned down and read Zhu Xiaoqi's name vigorously again in front of the middle-aged man.
The muscles on the middle-aged man's face trembled again, and there seemed to be something more in his blank eyes.
"It seems that you are really the Zhu Yunzhao he is looking for!" Ten years felt that there was almost no need to doubt this matter anymore. And the next thing he has to do is to pay close attention to his movements while protecting Zhu Xiaoqi, looking for opportunities to test him and see what the relationship between him and Zhu Yunzhao is.
